bored in boise

[111]

I am stuck in boise for work, with a day or two off here and there. Whats good to do? any cragging to be had? I have some of my gear...

Table Rock has a large amount of bouldering to be had, fifteen min. from town. One hour from town is swan lake, more bouldering. If you have quickdraws/gear @ a partner, look into the black cliffs, once again fifteen min from town. Boise Climbs is the book you need, Rei has a lot of them. Have Fun

Is there any ice near by? Mrs. Selkirk and I are going to be down over Xmas but it seems a bit chilly for rock

TIA

Its been pretty warm around here lately. I was out climbing at the cliffs yesterday and it was almost short weather. It might not be too cold for rock.

 

If anybody is looking for a partner let me know. I am looking for partners since I recently relocated to Boise.

Bump?

Forecast looks nice and cold for the next couple of weeks! Is there any ice (or will there be any?) around Boise to be had?

I'll be there over New Years and would love to find some Ice to scratch my way up.

Cheers

Here are the best info sources. I'd join you, but I leave for Chile in 4 days! Packing my swimsuit for sure.

Thanks It looks like we'll probably be bringing ice gear with us so long as it stays cold.

 

How is the Snake River Canyon down towards Hagerman? I was looking at a waterfall site and it seems like there are quite a few out that direction? Do they keep running through the winter and or form up?

 

Cheers
